Yes.
The ARC was made obsolete just prior to GDB 5.3:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-announce/2002/msg00010.html.
Noises about this started to be made prior to GDB 5.2:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb/2002-01/msg00026.html.
You're more than welcome to revive it. Just remember that it will be
treated as a new port and as such has the following acceptance criteria:
- an FSF assignment
Contact me for details.
- comply with gnu coding standards
Recommend running gdb/gdb_indent.sh on the file
- free of GDB related coding problems - deprecated code, strict ISO C,
... The ari helps http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/current/ari.
- pure multi-arch
